Benedict Cumberbatch in The Wonderful Story of Henry Sugar (2023)

Review by RightOnDaddio

The Wonderful Story of Henry Sugar

9/10

What Better Way To Spend Your Lunch Break Than With Wes Anderson and Roald Dahl?

This is a free flowing, free speaking, non stop dream of story telling.that glistens and glows for 37 minutes without taking even a short breath.

One can see why so many acting greats want to work with this director.

Set designers too.

Wow.

Wes, such a visionary.

Still so here, even in just a half hour.

His style so distinct and recognizable.

This is a fantastic introduction to anyone, even those that break out in hives at mere mention of arthouse cinema.

It's short, they can do it.

This is viewable for all ages.

All performances by all heavyweights here, all of them, solid as they are steady.

You'd spend as much if not more time watching cheesy YouTube videos or something else silly.

Thirty minutes is nothing.

And it's time well spent.

This is about acquiring a gift or talent by different men. And the various uses of that same talent or skill is as different as each man's motivation, and the end results are not always what was sought or intended.

Such is life.
